How bad is it for SEO to share an IP? - GoFuckYourself.com

Let's say you have a hub of sites that are about similar things:
diet
exercise
tricks to lose weight
etc.

How bad is it to have 2 or more sites on 1 IP, for SEO purposes?

baddog · 06-01-2011, 02:42 PM

Interlinking will have minimal value, but that is about as "bad" as it would get.

JamesGw · 06-01-2011, 02:48 PM

Yeah. It's not bad to used shared hosting. The only issue is that linking from the same c-block is devalued, which means that if you're pointing 500 links from site A to B, but both have the same IP, then you won't receive much benefit.

TheSquealer · 06-01-2011, 02:52 PM

Google updates it's search algorithms 100s of times per year (not talking about the major updates). Asking people these questions is pretty pointless. Especially when its a 5-6 year old question being answered with 5-6 year old answers.

It has no effect at all unless you have thousands of sites with the same pattern.

Great answer here from Google

also answers the question about spammy websites on your ipadres or server

Unique ip not a concern unless all those sites link to each other

I don't think Czarina was asking about shared hosting (correct me if I'm wrong). If you have a dedicated IP and you are running lots of sites on it with the same themes, going after the same keywords, I'm fairly sure Google will throttle the traffic to all of them. I'm currently testing this theory myself and hopefully will know better when all the pages I've just removed are de-indexed.

Not terrible with 2 sites on an ip - I know people that have interlinked 3-4 per. I've heard (not sure) domain registry different names help.

you're correct. I'm talking about 2 of my own sites sharing the same IP, they're both female beauty related, but one is about nails and the other about hair.

My experience so far is that doing something incorrectly is still better than doing nothing at all.

I think you'll be fine with two like that. I think it's more the keywords that are important, I think if you have 10 or 20 sites all on the same ip / same whois all competing for the same keywords, Google is gonna spank your ass.

cooldude7 · 06-09-2011, 07:30 AM

no 2 sites from same ip can rank for same kw., so no problem.,unless they are in same niche.

so what would you suggest instead then? everyone to give up and start farming for a living?

surely there are educated answers out there or else there wouldn't be people getting top ranks without having to pay for it.. and there most certainly is people doing that today still...

i cant afford an ip...

If both have original content and keywords you'll be fine. A recip link in between them wont give much value though.

The answer to this question is the same to the answer to all Google Search questions in this day and age. "you are isolating one factor out of 20 important factors and many hundreds of lessor factors and asking if it matters... it might, it might not... it depends on everything else you are doing at the same time"
